It's not a big deal that he wants to suggest that Paynter is one of Baffert's 'best ever'. Jess Jackson was constantly saying idiotic things about Curlin's place in racing history. Who cares...
What is troubling is that the horse was put in jeopardy by an intrusive owner who lied openly about the health status of the horse and its' whereabouts during the first illness and susbsequently is taking bows for 'doing right by the horse' now. In fact, he did 100% wrong by the horse.
